Summary:Over the past five years almost all computer manufacturers have dramatically changed their computer architectures to Multicore (MC) processors. We briefly describe Cache Blocking as it relates to computer architectures since about 1985 by covering the where, when, how and why of Cache Blocking as it relates to dense linear algebra.
